Que o toque e o cheiro da mãe são importantes para o bebê não é novidade. 

Mas podem ser mais poderosos do que você imagina. Uma mãe australiana contou como o toque trouxe seu bebê de volta à vida. 

Os médicos falaram que Jamie Ogg não tinha nenhuma chance de sobrevivência quando ele nasceu prematuro de 27 semanas, pesando apenas 900 gramas. 

Enquanto sua irmã gêmea, Emily, conseguiu sobreviver, Jamie lutou por vinte minutos, mas foi declarado morto pelos médicos. Eles o entregaram à mãe Kate para que ela e o pai David se despedissem. 

Quando recebeu a notícia que seu filho não tinha sobrevivido, Kate desenrolou Jamie do cobertor, colocou perto de seu peito e começou a conversar com ele. “Ele era muito mole. Seus pequenos braços e pernas estavam apenas caindo fora de seu corpo. Dissemos a ele qual era seu nome e que tinha uma irmã”, disse. Depois de duas horas de conversar com o filho, tocá-lo e acariciá-lo, ele começou a mostrar sinais de vida. Em seguida, após sua mãe colocar um pouco de leite materno no dedo e dar a ele, o bebê começou a respirar.

Kate tem certeza de que o contato “pele-a-pele” no seu caso foi vital para salvar seu filho doente. O método conhecido por ‘mãe canguru’, que também é aplicado em hospitais brasileiros, supõe que as mães se tornem incubadoras humanas, mantendo o bebê aquecido. Sabe-se que os bebês de baixo peso que são tratados desta maneira possuem menores taxas de infecção, padrões de sono melhor e menor risco de hipotermia. Mas casos como o de Kate desafiam a ciência.

Baby saved by mum's cuddles

Miracle ... Kate and David Ogg with little Jamie

By STAFF REPORTER - Published: 26 Aug 2010

A MUM has told how her touch miraculously brought her "dead" baby back to life.

Aussie doctors gave little Jamie Ogg no chance of survival when he was born prematurely at 27 weeks on March 25, weighing just 2lb.

His twin sister Emily survived but Jamie was declared dead.

The doctor who delivered him spent 20 minutes battling to get him to breathe.

He was handed to his mother Kate so she and her partner David could grieve and say their goodbyes.

But after two hours of being spoken to, touched, cuddled and held by his mum he began showing signs of life.

Then after being given breast milk on his mother's finger, he began breathing regularly.

Kate, who gave birth after a three-hour labour, has now told how vital "skin-on-skin" care can be for a sick baby — or "kangaroo touch" as it is known Down Under.

Normally, premature babies are sent to intensive care and she was only given her son to hold because he was thought to have died.

Telling how the drama unfolded, she said: "The doctor asked me after the birth had we chosen a name for our son.

"I said, 'Jamie', and he turned around with my son already wrapped up and said, 'We've lost Jamie, he didn't make it, sorry'.

"It was the worse feeling I've ever felt."

She added: "I unwrapped Jamie from his blanket. He was very limp.

"His little arms and legs were just falling down away from his body.

"I took my gown off and arranged him on my chest with his head over my arm and just held him.

"He wasn't moving at all and we just started talking to him. We told him what his name was and that he had a sister.

"We told him the things we waned to do with him throughout his life."

Jamie occasionally gasped for air, which doctors said was a reflex action.

Kate added: "After just five minutes I felt him move as if he were startled, then he started gasping more and more regularly.

"I thought, 'Oh my God, what's going on?'

"A short time later he opened his eyes. It was a miracle. Then he held out his hand and grabbed my finger.

"He opened his eyes and moved his head from side to side."
